Since men have messed it up


How about Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar for minority affairs minister?

EVER thought of an all-women cabinet, not 10% among predominantly male ministers, but all of them women? Imagine one. A compelling reason for this obviously ambitious exercise is that the men have messed it all up. And, women leading their teams of men have not fared much better either.

A TV ad that repeatedly distracted one from the sports fixture in progress could be credited for this unusual recourse to sublimation. “Select your team and win a prize,” it urged myriad eyeballs and ears with monotonous regularity to promote an app. Assembling cricket or football teams is, of course, old hat. Why not stitch up team, Indian or any other, with an acutely political purpose.
